Was the bar that much lower, or is that some people on this thread are misrepresenting what the project actually is?
EA Games open sourced the original C&C Generals source code a year ago.
GeneralsX is a fork of the original source code. The fork changes the code to be easier to be ported to other platforms, which GeneralsX provides native Linux and macOS builds.
This project adds a iOS target for the GeneralsX project, the iOS port was made using Claude Fable.
It is cool that a LLM was able to create a iOS port? Yes, but saying like if it was something that was hard or that it would take too much time to do before LLMs is a bit disingenuous in my opinion, especially because the GeneralsX had already done the bulk of the effort of making the code portable in the first place, and that there was already a macOS port.
For reference, the iOS port only needed to add 2,179 lines of code on files that already existed on GeneralsX, and that's not excluding comments, which Claude loves to add some LARGE comments, and things that are iOS app specific, like the app's Info.plist.

If you removed the front page, the annoying push notifications that push posts from communities you don't even care about, and remove the gamification to push users to keep commenting in posts... then yeah, I suppose that could work.
Keep in mind that I only felt what RattlesnakeJake experienced recently, years ago (before 2020) even though Reddit had the same front page it has nowadays, I did not experience so many random users posting useless things about posts, some even saying that they are just commenting random things "because Reddit pushed a notification about this post for me".
So it is not a issue with the front page per se, but the vibe that Reddit started fostering, especially after Reddit dropped the third party apps.

Not quite, a forum for a specific niche wouldn't have their posts pushed to random users that do not care about that specific topic because those users wouldn't be on that community in the first place.
The Reddit Front Page and especially the Reddit mobile app with their push notifications, keep pushing posts from random communities to the front page AND to push notifications, which makes random people that do not know anything about the community to post random stupid things. I also blame the fact that the Reddit mobile app incentivizes people to comment with gamified streaks, so people are more incentivized to comment useless things on threads.

Just a fyi for anyone that doesn't know: A few years back Don Hopkins got the permission from Yoot Saito to open source Yoot Tower, SimTower's sequel: https://github.com/YootTowerManagement/YootTower
...however I don't think that the source was ever published anywhere, considering that the repository still doesn't have the source code yet. ("Please check out the YootTower repo, where I'll publish the source code once it's cleaned up, reviewed and approved by Yoot, and relicensed with the MIT licensed.")

In my opinion it would be way cooler if it actually created a real Linux desktop environment instead of only a replica.
Would it succeed? Probably not, but it would be way more interesting, even if it didn't work.
I find things like Claude's C compiler way more interesting where, even though CCC is objectively bad (code is messy, generates very bad unoptimized code, etc) it at least is something cool and shows that with some human guideance it could generate something even better.

I'm pretty sure Mojang will just use the Vulkan bindings provided by LWJGL, considering that Minecraft uses LWJGL

I would've guess so, but I was talking about it in a "does Claude Code (not the model) have access to the internet?", which, according to Anthropic, it didn't.

In the original post Anthropic did point out that Claude Code did not have access to the internet

It is a bit vague, but I think that this means that you aren't going to be able to use Animate altogether after 01/03/2027.
> Access to your Animate files and project data will end on the date that support ends. To ensure a smooth transition, we encourage you to export your Animate FLA and XFL files to other formats such as SWF, SVG, and MP4 before this date.

To be SURE that I'm not "misrepresent basically everyone involved": Right now I tried the Proton build the PR creator made... and Photoshop still does not work. It shows the activation screen with "Loading..." written on it (sometimes it is just a blank box). https://i.imgur.com/QN2rxoO.png
You also aren't able to install Creative Cloud with that fork, the Creative Cloud installer gets stuck on a loading loop, so I needed to copy my Photoshop + Creative Cloud installation from my other Wine prefix.
This is not me throwing the PR's creator to the curb, it is impressive that they were able to fix the installers, even though they aren't the "main" installers, and I'm pretty sure that the PR creator could fix the activation screen too, because I think the issue is similar to the ones they are fixing, they probably just didn't do that yet because they don't know the activation screen is also borked.

Because I really want to be proved wrong, I tried using the patch creator's pre-compiled build with umu-launcher. However I couldn't get it work because umu-launcher kept complaining about a missing container runtime after I set the PROTONPATH to the pre-compiled build. It also did not work with umu's default Proton fork (it did run something, but even after I tried starting winecfg with umu, it just didn't do anything)
This is probably a skill issue on my part, so someone smarter than me could try getting it to work.
Because after using umu it sets up all of the override DLLs on my Wine prefix, I've tried running the Wine build directly, and I must say that the Photoshop GUI DOES render way better here, however the activation screen is still a empty white box (sometimes it does show "Loading..." in the box): https://i.imgur.com/Jxnga5W.png
But when doing this, the Creative Cloud app does not work anymore, it says that it needs to be repaired, but it fails to be repaired. https://i.imgur.com/jdQeU4t.png
This is very scuffed, maybe I should try Lutris and see what happens
Again, I really want to be proven wrong and it would be amazing if someone that ACTUALLY made it work with a PAID Creative Cloud license and used Photoshop CC 2021 WITHOUT bypassing its activation shows up and says "hey look, I got it to work and you are just stupid".

> then going ahead and trying a Wine 10 patch on Wine 11. Like, what exactly did you expect?
You can copy the PR's diffs and apply it on Wine 11.0, it is not like it doesn't work or that OP patched functions that are only available in Proton.
Seeing that people actually got it to work gets me intrigued, sadly they didn't say if they actually used an official Creative Cloud license, or if they downloaded it from the web from third party sources. Because, as I said before, the installers that OP used are not the installers you normally get from Adobe. So, if you know where OP got the installers, please share. :)
Now, it could be that Proton somehow has something else that fixes the installers, or that there is a regression between Wine 10.0 and Wine 11.0 that breaks the creator's patch. But like I said in my own posts that I linked, I can't find the exact installers that OP is using. The only time I've seen similar installers was when I was downloading pirated Photoshop copies to test it out on Wine.
I won't rule out that maybe there's a regression somewhere, I've already reported regression in Wine before (some of them were even fixed, yay!): https://bugs.winehq.org/buglist.cgi?email1=winehq%40mrpowerg...
> Even worse, other people are finding it easier to get creative cloud to run on older wine versions [1], meaning that there are regressions in Wine that aren't being spotted.
I don't think it is a regression. Hear me out:
The user was installing Photoshop CC 2023 with a installer similar to OP's installer, so I suppose that the installer also installs an older Creative Cloud version.
Maybe that Creative Cloud version does not require the stubbed function, nor does it require WebView2.
To get the RECENT, downloaded right off Adobe's website Creative Cloud installer, you will need to install WebView2 on your Wine prefix and set "msedgewebview2.exe" to Windows 7 mode. This makes the Creative Cloud work up until it tries to start it, which makes it use the stubbed function.
To workaround that, you can set Creative Cloud to Windows 7 mode, because that forces a different code path in the app which does not use the stubbed function (SetThreadpoolTimerEx was only added in Windows 8). However, this makes all apps show that it is "incompatible on your system", so you can't actually install anything from it.
My own patch DOES fix Creative Cloud in Windows 10 mode, so you are able to install Photoshop directly from Wine.
However, the patch (nor OP nor my own patch) fixes Photoshop's activation. And let's not rule out that maybe it IS actually a regression.
> Worse yet, people aren't pirating Photoshop, they copy the files of a working activated Photoshop installation from Windows so they can run it under Wine [2].
I'm not sure why you think that linking MattKC's post is a "gotcha", when I explicitly linked that post on my Reddit post AND MattKC's post also says that you need to bypass activation with GenP. So you aren't activating the application in Wine, you are bypassing the activation altogether.
But maybe you didn't notice that because I've only noticed now that my markdown was broken, because I included "(archived link because MattKC's forum is down)" within the URL by mistake, so the link didn't actually work, whoops. I've fixed that now.
I never said that Photoshop doesn't work in Wine. I said that it does work as long as you bypass activation with external tools. If you are using a legitimate copy from a Windows machine, or if you installed it via CC on Wine, or if it is a pirated copy, it doesn't matter, you WILL need to bypass the activation somehow. Which is the point I made in my post.
> The guy who claimed to have fixed creative commons has posted an update
That update was made after my post, and the installers on the creator's post are STILL not the same installers that you can get downloading from Adobe.
Unless I'm missing something and these installers can ACTUALLY be downloaded from Adobe, because I couldn't find them anywhere and the ones that I get from Adobe's website are the ones that I shared the screenshots of on my Reddit post.
___
Now, if you want to prove me wrong, please go ahead and try the creator's patch and try installing the Creative Cloud app, downloaded directly from Adobe's website.
I really want to be proven wrong because it would be really cool if you could get the Creative Cloud app + Photoshop working in Wine without needing external activation tools.

Pretty sure it is this one: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/wine/pull/310
Some news outlets did report on it. However, in my experience after testing the patch applied on top of Wine 11.0, both the Creative Cloud and the Photoshop installer did not work.
I suppose that the thing that the patch fixes is the "offline" Photoshop installers, which are not provided anymore unless if you ask Adobe nicely... or if you get it from third party sources. The PR's creator did say that they didn't pay for Creative Cloud, so I think it is likely that this is what happened.
This made me wonder if anyone had actually tested the patches with a legit Creative Cloud/Photoshop installer, or if everyone just ran with the PR saying "look it works now!!!" but nobody bothered to actually test it. The creator did submit their own precompiled Wine version, however that version is meant to be run via Proton, so I wasn't able to make it work because I don't know how to run things via Proton outside of Steam.
I was able to get the Creative Cloud app in Wine (set to Windows 10 mode) by using some very dubious methods, as in, I asked Claude Code to implement the stub to see what would happen because if AI is sooo good as how people are saying, it should be able to fix things in Wine... right? And surprisingly, it did actually work.
However you aren't able to use Photoshop CC 2021 (the earliest Photoshop version you can install from Creative Cloud, newer versions crash during startup) because the activation popup does not render the input controls. The reason why I think it is trying to render something is because the activation popup background does have the same color as the Adobe website and, if my memory is correct, in Windows that popup is used to ask for your Adobe account credentials.
(Sadly the PR patch does not fix the activation screen)
Of course, if you bypass the activation using... alternatives means, Photoshop CC 2021 does work under Wine, which is why you can find a lot of "Photoshop CC 2021 in Wine!" repositories on GitHub.

Funnily enough there are old Windows applications that do work on Wine, but doesn't work on Windows 11
